Chuck Todd busts Trump health chief: “Not a single analysis” says you’ll lower premiums
By Alison R. Parker | July 2, 2017

He noted that analyses did show potential premium reductions for younger, healthy Americans, but “for older americans with preexisting conditions, these premiums are going to go up.”

When Price tried to deflect that fact by complaining that the CBO and other groups had not looked at “the entire plan” — to which Todd sharply replied that they can only assess legislation they are given, “not future potential future legislation which is yet to be fully introduced.”

PRICE: So, what we’re trying to do is to bring all of those prices down, everybody. Premiums in this nation have doubled over the past four years, up an average of $3,000 for the average family. That’s a tax on everybody. What we want to do is bring all of those prices down so that seniors, young people, folks in middle age, folks who are gaining their coverage by their employer, all of those costs come down.

TODD: But for what it’s worth, not a single analysis — whether it’s Congressional Budget Office or third party groups — has indicated this this bill, either the House version or the Senate version, is somehow going to make premiums come down for older Americans. Every analysis suggests while premiums may come down for younger Americans, that for older Americans with pre-existing conditions, these premiums are going to go up. There is not a single analysis that has said otherwise...........................

4. He also nailed Price when he started whining that the press is "obsessing" over Trump's tweets

"Mr. Secretary, with all due respect, you're blaming me for what the president of the United States has spent his entire week focused on?"
